Abstract
- In this paper an effort has been made to explain and systemize the notions of encephalopathy, psycho organic syndrome, characteropathy, seen as consequences of cranio-cerebral injuries, and regarding neurological, psychiatric and certificating criteria. The main aim of this classification is to define the necessary conditions needed to confirm or exclude the presence of neurological changes mentioned above. The conditions should be acceptable from the neurological, psychiatric and certificating points of view. The certificating experience of the authors shows that there are vast differences among criteria applied by neurologists, psychiatrists and certificating doctors in assessing the consequences of cranio-cerebral injuries. Moreover, in the above paper various injury and disease factors have been presented and discussed. Although they do not remain in any causal connection with the assessed event, they have a significant influence on the final result of the medical certification.
